Nugent Compares Napolitano To "Tax Cheat" In Charge Of Treasury, "Closet Racist" In Charge Of DOJ

In a January 5 Washington Timesop-ed, Ted Nugent wrote that "[p]utting [Janet] Napolitano in charge of Homeland Security is analogous to putting a tax cheat in charge of the Department of Treasury or a closet racist in charge of the Department of Justice."

From Nugent's op-ed:

America is rife with insane security weaknesses. Take, for example, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Every time I see her mug on the television I see America's biggest and most glaring security weakness.

Putting Ms. Napolitano in charge of Homeland Security is analogous to putting a tax cheat in charge of the Department of Treasury or a closet racist in charge of the Department of Justice.

Right-wing media are up in arms over the Department of Defense's (DOD) release of a 1987 report suggesting Israel has nuclear capabilities, claiming the acknowledgement of the country's nuclear program is an "unprecedented" "leak" and act of "treachery" from the White House. In reality, the Bush administration declassified information on Israel's nuclear program years ago, and the DOD only released the 1987 report after years of fighting a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.
